Peter, hard wire a charger connection to the battery. I have done this on my car with a Ctek unit. I used the connection wires supplied with ready fitted connectors The power socket is inside the glove box! Why? Stupid location requiring either moving or altering wiring . To use it you either keep the box door open or route a connection round and into the back of the glovebox from under the dash. Depending on the fit, the push in plug can be a bit unreliable as well. It is actually just ( I find it easier) as easy to connect up by lifting the bonnet. If you use a car cover then just lower the bonnet. On a trad the gap to the wing is plenty big enough for wires. (Humongous gap!)
